I'd say you guys value patriotism too much. Typical of an empire too.

Btw, it's what gave rise to the Nazis (among other factors).

Too much patriotism is because too little of everything else

Try Nationalism/Jingoism; Patriots actually stand up to their own country's BS

I would say that patriotism in small amounts can be beneficial as it can drive you to improve your country, but patriotism in too large of amounts would drive you to ignore its flaws

Patriotism is borderline discrimination.
